Hodan HassanStudent of The Influence Academy

The downside of being thought of as an ‘influencer’, is the deluge of fakery, if you will from marketers trying to reach out.
They are basically clueless.
What they don’t understand is that synergistic success between marketers and influencers boils down to just one single thing: relationships.
It’s the relationships, stupid!
Tom Augenthaler understands this.
I have worked with Tom from the time he was at HP to when he led the HP Enterprise practice for Ivy Worldwide.
He knew how and when to reach out, and he made sure the influencers who worked with him on projects were a good fit.
The campaigns I was a part of helped me develop new relationships that have continued to help me immensely.
Better than that, he helped us grow in reach, and most importantly, in influence.
It is with pride, that I attest to Tom’s marketing, influencer shepherding, and social media skills.
I heartily recommend him. Without reservation.
